Top 5 Time Management Tips
Over the years I have tried many ways and teachings, but these 5 stand out for me and you can also teach them to your team. Being an HR consultant, I always want to empower my clients and their teams.
1. GOAL SETTING: Here is where it all starts. What do want to achieve by the end of the day, week, and month? You can even map out the next 6 months.
• Specific or Significant
• Measurable or Motivational
• Action or Achievable
• Reasonable or Results
• Timely or Trackable
2. TOMORROWS LIST TODAY: Every day before you leave, or the last hour of the day, write down everything that must happen tomorrow and see if there is something you can do today that will only take a few minutes, less than 20 minutes.
3. FIVE MINUTE RULE: Almost like the 5 second rule, when you drop something on the floor. If it takes less than 5 minutes - do it NOW.
4. 80/20 RULE: As the owner / CEO you should only be doing tasks that bring in most of your money. Highlight your money-makers and get them done in the first few hours of the day.
5. STOP MULTI-TASKING: Work on one thing for 30 min - 1 hour and then move on.
A bonus tip that works for me is to put EVERYTHING in your schedule. You can use different colours to differentiate between different tasks. When I started doing this, I had a lightbulb moment. So often we think we have time and then we overcommit. When you can see something on your calendar or in your diary, something happens in your brain.
